October 2017 Mastering Check...Look What You Made Me Do- Taylor Swift

9/25/2017

 
This month the number one slot on Billboard's Top 100 is filled by Taylor Swift's 'Look What You Made Me Do'.   Aside from the title blaming someone else for your bad behavior, let's look at the numbers.

The LKFS is at -8.5 dB,    (We still need a -16 dB Limit here)
True Peak at +1.1 dB results in   (Regardless of LKFS, should never be above 0)
33 Clipped Samples Left and 42 Clipped Samples Right,   (Obviously should be 0)
DC Offset +0.013% Left, 0% Right     (Obviously should be 0)
Dynamic Range is 6.1 dB.       ( No problem here)

Mastered by Randy Merrill, the numbers are typical, and not as bad as some others in our ongoing list.

Here is the screenshot of the track.
